Development of a muskmelon cultivar with improved resistance to gummy stem blight and desired agronomic traits using gene pyramiding
Gummy stem blight (GSB), caused by Didymella bryoniae (Auersw.) Rehm., is a severe disease affecting Cucurbitaceae crops including melons. The resistance of current melon varieties that carry a single Gsb resistance gene is insufficient to protect against the abundant variation of the D. bryoniae is...
